Chapter 36: Seeking Change
The news of St. Joseph's Yale team's victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers spread quickly in the Great East Conference division, and Kyle's bloody stunner spread amazingly, and the two-game winning streak Yale and Kyle attracted a lot of attention. A timely NBA draft website predicts that Kyle is the first first-round pick, suggesting that Kyle has caught the attention of some people, especially those who are so-called experts. But this is impossible to do, and it is only after the NCAA regular season that these facts come to light and scouts put reports on the desks of NBA team managers. "March Madness" is the real highlight, and only the geniuses who release their light on this stage will theoretically have a higher draft order. And those college players who had good regular-season stats and couldn't make the cut will be back two or three. But it's still early on, and it's only the second game.
St. Joseph's Yale team was as much of a spotlight as Martelley wanted to be, and he got his wish, and the Yale team finally rose to sixth place in the Great East Conference and became the favorite team to qualify in the region. The school trustee's commendation and recognition, St. Joseph's pupils and teachers have maintained enough respect for Martelley, which has never been done before, because the basketball team used to be really smelly. After two consecutive wins, Yale's chances of reaching the NCAA Championship were greatly increased, and the players enjoyed the benefits, as the whole team, both starting and replacement, became the target of St. Joseph's Student's pursuit, and their popularity was no less than that of the St. Joseph's Wingers, who were regulars in the NCAA Football League tournament and had an incomparable status in the school.
It's a pity! The beauties show their affection, but they can't take it all, and the happy days are still very far away. This is because since the day Hash accused Kyle, everyone on the basketball team has accompanied Kyle to get up early to run and practice, and go back to the dorm on time to sleep after finishing work at night. I'm so tired that I swing my legs like a dead dog, and I can't cover it!
The game against the Pittsburgh Panthers still made his teammates clearly recognize their weaknesses or shortcomings. For example, Smith's dribbling and physical fitness, this is very deadly, as soon as you dribble, you lose it, how to do the shaft? The basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide, a total of ten people run on a half-court of more than 200 square meters, and the average player's arm span is more than two meters.
This is very exquisite. In addition to a series of factors such as ball feeling, hand speed, length and width of the palm, dribbling frequency and rhythm, etc., it is also necessary to practice the most basic kung fu, practice until the ball does not leave the hand, ponder the arc of the ball, and master the strength of the ball. Then practice fancy techniques, such as back dribbling, cross-step dribbling, back turn dribbling, fast running dribbling, etc., but everything can't be achieved overnight, it is practiced over time, and time is the best catalyst.
Smith dribbles badly! That's relatively speaking, for the upper half of the hanger, he is naturally a master of dribbling. But when it comes to the top college basketball leagues, or the NBA league, he's a dish. Smith is seven feet tall, and the arc of the dribble will be raised, which causes his lack of ball protection ability, and his action is quite slow compared to the small guard, and it is normal to be stolen, forced, and intercepted! Mistakes became a regular occurrence for him. How to remedy? In a word, practice hard and find your own rhythm and feel for the dribble. It's a tedious process, like now, when Smith is half-crouched, hunched over, and carrying two balls in both hands, all the time, motionless, and a big fool.
Kyle and others were busy, and coaches such as Martelley were not idle, and they were in the office researching how to solve the team's defect that Kyle only had one point of possession. Tapping into the elite is certainly the most effective, but is it possible? The good players have been carved up by all the academies, are there any missed fish? The odds are less than 0.1%, why? The degree of development of physical education in the United States has reached an incomparable height, with the most sophisticated training equipment, the largest capital investment, and the most anxious hot spots. Physical education! Has been included in the pioneer department of school education, sports star! Often much more famous than the top students of the school, more respected and recognized, sports news! It is the hottest topic of public opinion. In such an environment, who has the talent not to take the lead? No way!
So it's a supplement to elite players, is there any? Of course there is, Hash is good! Or a player who has been abandoned by another school, but can this be wanted? Apparently not. There are no huge flaws, no obvious character problems, no unforgivable mistakes, who will let their players go, this is a thousand choices, they are all talents, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best of the sky. Isn't it a time bomb to recruit these players and put them on a ticking bomb? Then you might as well bring Hash back! Martelley certainly wouldn't do that.
So only the team selection remains, and Leo Will is the candidate they circled as a key development, but Matley decided to ask Kyle's opinion, and he needed Kyle's nod to support. The Yale team is Kyle's one-man team, which has been made public within the team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor of Matleley. The current situation is that if there is no Kyle, then St. Joseph's Yale team will be reinstated as a fish belly, and Martelley will die an ugly death, which is the embarrassment of the entire Yale team, and the dilemma of Martelley.
But what's the solution? If there were, Martelley wouldn't have been scolded by Kyle for being a dog, and he still came to Kyle with a shy face to come to the door to join.
"Kyle! Mr. Martelley called you. "Richard is becoming more and more like a coach, Martley has called him these days to discuss the big and small things of the team, this thing is also very knowledgeable and never speaks, he is no longer a caddy, and Matley does not arrange for him to do this kind of thing! Is there a reason for Kyle? The whole world knows it.
Kyle answered, and ran to Martelley's office.
"Sir! You call me? Kyle knocked on the door.
"Yes! Come in and sit down. Martelley's frowning brows were instantly released, and he said with a smile, "What do you want to drink?" ”
"No! Is there anything I need to do for you, sir? Kyle also sensed that the old man's respect for him was growing! Especially after the win over the Pittsburgh Panthers.
"I want to put Lelegion Will on the first bench, what do you think?"
"It's very good, it's totally fine."
"It's fantastic, we coincide."
"Yes!" Of course Kyle wouldn't object, don't mention who he mentioned? He had another thing to discuss with Martelley. "By the way, sir, what do you think of the tactic of letting Smith be the axis? Just like the day we beat Pittsburgh. ”
"Very good, is this what you came up with?" Martelley suddenly remembered, yes! It's a good addition, but there is a slight awkwardness in his heart, and the feeling of being a puppet makes him a little flustered, and unhappy and unhappy emotions are brewing. "Drills can be arranged."
"Yes! Thank you, sir. ”
"It's all right! You go out. ”
